Abstract
Bilateral Chemical Burns of the Cornea Due to Limewater: A Specific case
Highlights
Bilateral Chemical Burns of the Cornea detecting late onset complication, prognosis of damage to different tissues and choice of final treatment
Damage to the cornea as an impotent clear media and refractive structure require clinicians to rapidly assess the level of injury and to take appropriate steps in order to minimize loss of visual function (3)
The lime as a common alkaline agent has harmful effects to the eye tissues and chemical burns of eye tissues due to lime have been reported (4) but we here present a specific case of bilateral chemical injury of the cornea
Summary
Bilateral Chemical Burns of the Cornea detecting late onset complication, prognosis of damage to different tissues and choice of final treatment. Eyes Chemical burns may be caused by either acidic or alkaline agents (1). Chemical injury of the eyes may produce extensive damage to the ocular tissues, resulting in permanent unilateral or bilateral visual impairment (2). Damage to the cornea as an impotent clear media and refractive structure require clinicians to rapidly assess the level of injury and to take appropriate steps in order to minimize loss of visual function (3).
